§ MR. D. A. THOMAS (Merthyr Tydvil)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Trea- 18 sury whether the Companies Bill embodies the Amendments said by the Government to be required in the laws which govern limited liability companies which were placed first in the Government programme at the beginning of the session; and whether, seeing that similar Bills have been introduced every session by the Government for several years past in the House of Lords, it is his intention to proceed with the Bill in the present session; and, if so, whether he can now say when the Second Reading will be taken.
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI am afraid I cannot name any day at present for the Second Reading of this Bill.
